As reported on MSNBC's Countdown tonight, Margaret Carlson told Keith Olbermann the pathetic story of how the Bushes lied to the Obamas about the Blair House being booked before January 16th. The Obamas had asked to move into the Blair House after their vacation before the inauguration into the White House but where told last month by Laura Bush's spokeswoman that the house would be available on January 15th instead, based on it being "historically the case." Only that it wasn't booked. At all. And disgraced former Australian Prime Minister John Howard is staying in there instead. Just take a look. The pettiness President ever. The worst President ever.

Photo from the BBC No one in the American corporate media (outside of probably Olbermann and Maddow, though I'm not even sure if they have reported followups on this) has even bothered on updating on the status of Montather Al-Ziedi ever since he released his second shoe at our lame duck joke of a President. Unfortunately, initial reports indicated that Al-Zeidi was getting tortured severely. And even more devastating to read is the fact that the infliction he is reporting taken has continued. From Siun at Firedoglake , who has been following the journalist's condition, it seems Nouri al-Maliki continues to show signs that lead some to believe he could be the country's next dictator. As Laura Doty mentioned over at Oxdown , more accounts of the abusive treatment of Al Zaida are appearing at the same time that Prime Minister Maliki is attempting to slander the shoe thrower with claims that: Mr. Al-Zeidi "revealed the name of the person who instigated this act". ...

(Note: For those who may not know or could possibly be confused, TSTRNS is the abbreviation for "The Sleep Time and Rise "n" Shine Thread"). Who made today's top three ? 3. President elect Barack Obama 2. Al Sharpton with Caroline Kennedy 1. Our disaster of a 43rd President explaining how he prevented his recession from being his depression. You'll see in this segment of TWD's 1,2,3 Good night (or good morning to you all).

Denial, denial, denial, from this administration. It is what they do. First, here's Bush for the 10th millionth time, not taking any responsibility for Iraq . In his latest exit interview, President Bush continued to shirk any responsibility for the problems in Iraq or for the severe economic recession. When CNN’s Candy Crowley asked whether the problem with pre-war intelligence was “a matter of interpretation” or “a matter of just bum information,” Bush admitted “it was just bad analysis” — done by others, not himself. In fact, he lamented the bad intelligence not because it led to a misguided war but because it made it harder for his administration to promote the war: It gets better. In that same interview, with Crowley not even daring to challenge him, guess who he blames for the whole economic downturn. Deregulation proponents like himself? Big CEO's on Wall Street doing the same shady deals that they usually do, and not doing a damn thing to stop it after being forewarned...

Photo from Think Progress poster Dr.Hussein Matt The Charlie Gibson interview of George Bush that will air on ABC has leaked heavily throughout the TV sets and online. Here's what the worst President in modern American history said to Gibson, for those who may have not checked the other websites : In an interview with ABC News that will air tonight, President Bush admits that he was unprepared to be Commander-in-Chief when he was elected: “I think I was unprepared for war,” Bush told ABC News’ Charlie Gibson in an interview airing today on “World News.” “In other words, I didn’t campaign and say, ‘Please vote for me, I’ll be able to handle an attack,’” he said. “In other words, I didn’t anticipate war. Presidents — one of the things about the modern presidency is that the unexpected will happen.” In 2004, Bush similarly told author Bob Woodward that he “ was not on point ” prior to 9/11. “I didn’t feel that sense of urgency, and my blood was not nearly as boiling.” Once again,...
